When it comes to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the designer is always balancing the wants of the child and the desires of the parent.  In this case Aaron wanted a sports theme and his mom wanted something that was different than foam cutouts and sports paraphenalia on the tables.  She also wanted something that felt like the ESPN Zone restaurants.  Here is what we came up with:

AARON'S ZONE!

Wire Art Sports Figures in Authentic Team Jerseys of Aaron's favorite teams (a great keepsake or giveaway)

Buffet Station Centerpiece w/ team penants.

Ice Art rocked the ice bar! There is a bat and baseballs embedded in the center!

Candy Buffet w/ sports theme boxes from www.iparty.com

Sports themed place cards to match the centerpiece jerseys!

Isha Foss Events provides event and floral design for Bar Mitzvahs, Quinceaneras, and Sweet Sixteens.

Check back next week as we do a non-themed Bar Mitzvah for Aaron's friend Andrew!

When I met with Emily and her family earlier this year she had determined that her theme would be shopping.  No problem!  She also handed me a box covered with polka dots, and several shopping bags from some of her favorite stores.  From that moment I had a complete vision of the design for her event.  Emily's - a chic boutique with mannequins in store window vignettes, flowers spilling out of bags and boxes, custom credit cards, etc.  Of course things happen like having to move the food into a different room.  What to do ... I know, how about a food court, complete with trays and everything!  Emily's mom, Janet, suggested that we name each station after a member of their family.  It was a great idea that everyone loved!  Here's what I came up with:

This was a really great event.  There were so many elements - a cupcake tree, a root beer float station that we covered with a large polka dot umbrella, a cookie cart, and in addition to putting the "boutique" name in lights we also put Emily's name in flowers at the entrance to the Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club where the event took place.  Emily was thrilled and my entire team was excited to see this one come together.  We also provided the linens, chargers and arrangements for the Shabbat dinner, and floral garlands for the Bimah.

Last night we celebrated Jamie's Bat Mitzvah with family and friends at the Marriott Newport News City Center.  The venue is new and beautiful. 

Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are very theme oriented and that means lots of items to load in for the event design team and potentially earlier than normal site access.  Jamie's theme was gymnastics which we conveyed with lots of spandex - chair covers, lighted towers, and an entry arch.  Everything was tied together with foam cutouts of gymnasts.  My team painted and glittered the smaller gymnasts, while the larger ones that flanked the dance floor on 8 ft. towers were hand cut.

Half the room was hot pink, the other half turquoise.  The spandex arch and dance floor separated the adult space from the young adult area.  The centerpieces incorporated fresh flowers for adult tables or were more youthful versions with silver glittered curly ting.  Everything was bathed in a soft pink glow with uplighting!
